Sometime ago my wife and I were discussing our favorite Hollywood personalities and right at the top of my list was Will Smith. I used to love watching the ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’, I struggle to think of a single movie he was in that I didn’t like (okay, Wild West was close), and even though he started out as a rapper, he’s someone I wouldn’t have a problem letting my kids listen to.
I always knew I liked his “calm, cool, collected” approach, as my wife likes to say, but when I saw this video I knew I liked him even more.
While there are definitely some marketing lessons that could be taken from this video, more than anything I just wanted to share it with you because I really like what he has to say.
Enjoy!
Some of my favorite quotes are:
- “If you’ve got a dream, you’ve got to protect it.” – from his role in The Pursuit of Happyness
- “I want to do good. I want the world to be better because I was here.”
